HIGHEST WATER IN 14 YEARS.
Well Organized Railroad Depart
ments Will Soon Repair Damages
to Track.
"This washout business is not
what it is cracked up to be," said
F. E. Holm, engineer on tho passen
ger train from Portland which was
tied up hero last night.
"I havo been on tho O. It. & N.
system for the past 14 yenrs and
water is higher in Burnt river this
spring than I over saw it before.
"It Is one of tho worst mountain
streams In the west when It is filled
to overflowing with the spring fresh
ets. Its current is so swift that re
pairs to bridges aro almost Impossi
ble until the water goes down, and
Its banks are sandy and easily wash
ed, so no ono knows at what point
it will begin an attack on tho track
until it has begun.
"With the well organized systems
In tho different departments of the
O. It. & N. It, will not require half
tho time to ropalr a bridge now that
it did 14 years ago. Trains will bo
running soon and the public will not
know how tho work was done, or
when."
WILL BE BUMPER CROP.
W. P. Temple Visits Northern Uma
tilla County and Finds Wheat Par
Excellence.
W. P. Temple, the well known
farmer, visited the northern portion
of tho county Saturday and founa
the wheat crops all over that section
in the best possible condition.
Tho stand Is heavier, the color bet
ter, the .plants stooled out better,
and the entire county more free from
weeds than he has seen it for
many years", and he fully expects to
seo the bumper crop of the county
this year.
Mr. Temple Is elated over the fact
that he found living water on his
farm seven miles from the city. He
has hauled water for domestic pur
noses for the past 14 years and now
that he has secured a living well,
.feels that his land has increased in
value about 10 per cent. He' thinks
there is no doubt about the well
holding out during the dry weather,
as it gives every evidence of being a
permanent now.

center of the New York delegation,
flanked by Bourke Cockran, Senator
Brady, Victor and Downing.

cess till 7 this evening. A caucus of

If this cut-off worn built enough

Mr. Harrah Is certain that the re
quired number of patrons could bo
cr.rMir.n1 to Imlupn tho cnvernilicnt
to establish the first rural delivery
route out of Pendleton, on mat road.
By including tho residents on me
nrnnnnt rnnil. nnd those thnt Will 1)0

patrons could bo found wltliln t lit
prescribed 25 miles, to secure tho
route.

The dispatch Is blind, as it does

added weight of tho HeeeeB due to

There Is, as Is always the ram. u
